be no free charges , by the last equation it follows that there is no bulk bound charge in the material . And since free charges can get as close to the dielectric as to its topmost surface, it follows that polarization only gives rise to surface bound charge density (denoted to avoid ambiguity with the volume bound charge density ).

may be related to by the following equation:

where is the normal vector to the surface pointing outwards. (see charge density
